Dear Ann Landers,
enjoy your column very much. It has helped me, but not in the same way it has helped most other people. I came from a foreign country and learned how to read English from your articles. Your true-to-life writing is easy to follow. You don't use big words like many other writers. I hope you will accept a suggestion from me because I see the world through the eyes of a newcomer. I happen to know your column appears in many foreign cities because I have seen it in my travels to Tokyo, Bang-kok, Hong Kong, Mexico City and Caracas. Would you please not publish letters about teen-age girls getting with child, married women who have love affairs with the boss, husbands who ask their wives to wear black stockings to bed and other things that make Americans look immoral and crazy? Thank you very much. YOUR GOOD FRIEND

DEAR FRIEND,
The letters that appear in my column are human prob-lems. They come from every one of the 50 states, as well as from Canada, Bermuda, Nassau-in fact from all over the world. There is no such thing as "an American problem" or "Ameri-can craziness." Trouble and strange behavioral pattern are universal. Thank you for writing.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
